More than twenty years after her violent death, a victim has been identified in France and a suspect arrested, Interpol said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Interpol, the world\u2019s largest police organization, helped solve the cold case.<\/p>\n
The body of the woman was found in early 2005 inside a rainwater barrel in the French village of Saint-Quirin, a few dozen kilometres from the German border. It had been mutilated, packed into garbage bags and tied up with ropes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIdentify Me\u201d campaign seeks clues<\/p>\n
For over two decades, the woman\u2019s identity remained unknown.<\/p>\n
The case was later included in Interpol\u2019s \u201cIdentify Me\u201d campaign, which seeks public help in identifying more than 40 unidentified women found across Europe.<\/p>\n
Now the woman\u2019s identity has been established, and for the first time since the campaign began, which focuses on long-unsolved murders of women, a suspect has been arrested.<\/p>\n
German, Belgian, Dutch, Italian, French and Spanish police are also participating in the \u201cIdentify Me\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n
According to Interpol, most of the women being sought were murdered or died under suspicious or unexplained circumstances. Nine of them were found in Germany.<\/p>\n
On the campaign website, Interpol has published facial reconstructions as well as images of jewellery and clothing found on the women. Authorities have since been able to identify five of the bodies. In the remaining cases, Interpol continues to ask for tips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than twenty years after her violent death, a victim has been identified in France and a suspect…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[7691,5,7651,7693,7692],"class_list":["post-9881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-france","tag-cold-case","tag-france","tag-interpol","tag-police-organization","tag-violent-death"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
